Fighting n Newspaper.

The difficulties and dangers that beset
suburban jOurna Ism are admirably illus
tTated by the strange experiences that
have recently fallen the publishers of
the Northern Eagle, a weekly newspaper
published in the village of Westchester,
about mile from the city line at the
Bronx River. The Journal is controlled
by the NOrtheIn Eagle Publishing Com
pany. Sheriff Duffy, of Westchester
County, is President and Professor Tar
I ". Secretary of the State Board of Edu-
cation. is Secretary. Professor Tarpey
is the editor of the paper, which has been
conducted in so independent and agrees
i've manner as to make many enemies.
liz was expected that some of these would
adopt retaliatory measures, and they did
10 with a vengeance.
Some time go the office was entered
in the night, after the forms of the four
pages of the paper had been made up
ready for the press, and all of them were
pied, p" the type being found in a heap on
the floor. The assistance of a downtown
printing house enabled Professor Tarpey
to publish his paper twenty-four hours
late. The following week the rascals
p-.id another visit to- the Office in the
night, and this time stole two of the
forms. There IL no clew to the perpetra-
tors, but Sheriff Duffy has offered a re-
ward of $500 for their arrest and convic-
ton.

would get here in time none OF us
doubted. Now that we feel certain of II,

The match game of base ii was
played here on the 18th between the
Denvers and Welakas. A good crowd
was on the ground, among them many
ladies to cheer up the Welakas A good
dinner was served on the grounds, and
about , p. m. the game began by the
Denvers having the first inning. They
led at first, but our boys soon got down
to business and realized they were to
play if they expected to win. The We
lakas soon got the lead and kept it up
all through. After a very hot contest
of two hours the game ended, Welakas
scoring 10 To Denvers Is, which was re-
markable, considering the splendid team
of the Denvers, and that our best bats

our catcher, Gresham, disabled. though
his place was most creditably filled by
Mr.. Dale. Reeder caught some fine
balls in the field. The greatest feat on

a ball and jumped about fifteen feet in
the air, catching the ball and landing in
an old well ten feet deep. He was
safely got out, but had his grip on the
ball. This exploit finished the game.
Foster was umpire, and Thorne and
Allen scorers. After the game, the boys
all had supper, and as a wind-up a

enjoyed the fOaming beverage. TIE

home. The utmost good feeling pre-
vailed. On the 22d, a match with the

At precisely ten minutes past O'Clock

the President called the eighth regular
meeting of the society to order, and
| at once proceeded to business. After the
usual formalities. the following resolu.
| ton, which was laid over from the last
meeting, was taken up and adopted:
Resolved, That this s5ciety recon-
mends the formation of cooperative
societies for the purpose of erecting suit
able buildings in which to preserve and
store at least one-half of the orange crop,
so as to avoid the effects of the early low
markets and the later destructive frosts,
and that a committee be appointed to
formulate plan and to bring the subject
in some de finite shape before the next
regular meeting.

and Lewis Morris.
Under the head of miscellaneous bust
ness, the following subjects came up and
were treated by the parties named, sui
stantially as follows:

question of chicken mites, in connection
with the best known remedies for their

The Father of his Country" was born
one hundred and fifty years ago t. day.
Whether or not he would recognize his
child could he see her now is matter OF
doubt; whether he would be ashamed
of his relationship to some of her chill
dren does not admit of controversy.
Probably he would be less ashamed
of some who stand not so well with the
world as of the Anglomaniacs who are
ashamed of their mother. However these
questions may be decided, it is still LIE
that we make much fuss over our rev.
erence for George, belittle his teachings
in our lives as much as we can, and in
sist on devOting to his memory each
year the relics of certain small boys who
believe that noise is a form of respect
and devotion includes the consumption
of powder. We congratulate ourselves
that the waste of powder entails also the
loss of certain fingers and eyes which are
dutifully laid upon the altar of George
with the hatchet. And this reflection
reconciles us to the endurance of cur
daily grind whose duties we take Up

Those who have improved the fertile
districts along the st. Johns between Pa
latka and Astor, have often lamented
the want of a railroad and deplored the
hard necessity which compelled them to
draw their crops to the river. Through
this section the Palatka, Welaka and
Spring Grove road will pass, and its
early construction Is already assured, if
those most interested will encourage the
enterprise with the liberality which
should be dictated by enlightened self
interest. The outlying settlements back
of Norwalk and on the western shore of
Big Lake George will be especially bene-
fitted and the value of their lands will
be doubled.
Whether the road shall be built or not
depends entirely on those who own lands
along the line. If the people most inter
ested will do their part, then the COM
pany of which Mr.. Greeley is the head
and Capt. Watson the right hand, will dc
the rest. Let our neignbors act now and
I the work will be done.
Sherman Conant has Joined the com
pany, and Damon Greenleaf is one OF
the prime spirits. These, with the indie
fatigable Charley Fenwick, will give uf
the railroad for which we have waited
so long, aud their names are ample
guarantees.

A Happy Village.

FEDERAL POINT, la, Feb. 81.
| Special Correspondence PaIatka News.
We frequently see our INLAND town,
| described as bordering a EeautIful lake
whose slOping shores, skirted with the
semi tropical vegetation, makes land
scape of perpetual beauty" This place
| although basing her attractions on the
more solid foundation of a superb soil
excellent water protection from early
frosts, and a population possessed OF cul-
ture and social refinement, with the &C
cessories of schools and church, to say
nothing of our business capacities and
advantages, has a landscape as beauti-
full as any heart could desire.
The st. Johns river at this place re-
sembles a broad, beautiful lake more
than river, affOrding a water view to
the south of seven miles and to the
north of about twenty miles, with a
breadth of from one and a half to three
miles. This beautiful eA panse of water
is bordered with lovely shores of ever
green trees, dotted here and there with
fine residences and orange groves that
extend almost TO the waters edge, while
little villages are springing up all along
the banks, adding not only beauty to
the scene but evincing a stage of thrift
and general prosperity hard to excel and
not to be appreciated until seen.
This place has never had a boom" but
has grown up quietly and unOstenta-
tiously to its present gratifying proper
tons, its population finding their sup
port from the bounteous soil rather than
from capital brought here from a dis
lance. Her people are here to stay, con-
tent with their lots, and rejoicing when
they return from journeying elsew here,
that their homes are at Federal Point.
While man can live in a dungeon
where the light of day is entirely ex-
cluded. yet the beauties of nature are
none the less pleasing TO the eye, and life
is made all the more happy by these con-
trasts of bright foliage, frightened by
